There are many ways to get rid of weeds. You can dig them up, spray them, cut them to pieces or burn them.

But noxious weed eradicator Trevor Thompson prefers to shoot them.

Displaying Kiwi ingenuity, Conservation Department employee Mr Thompson is having great success shooting inaccessible pest plants on Mana Island using a paintball gun.
Original Linkage.

Something a bit different for the paintball world ... anyone else got any random assed ways of using paintball gear?

With a good aim, he can shoot boxthorn plants 25 to 40 metres away. It takes about 10 shots to cover each plant and three weeks for the plants to die.
...if he had a good gun, he could increase that accuracy! Haha.

...replaced paint in the balls with a mix of diesel and herbicide Grazone
Hypodermic needle p'haps? I wondering what other fun stuff you could replace the paint with. Sulfuric acid, fluff (marshmallow spread, then all the balls would stick to their target...but the recipient would also be coated in sticky white spread....yummmm).

You can talk, i remember at the masters when you shot one of your own teammates out, and then denied it to his face.

I guess that says it all for a player of your caliber.
Scott also uses his paintball kit to justify going onto a paintball forum so he can make false accusations. :rolleyes:
